Heidi Klum has announced a newfound art crush on Sterling Ruby, posting a photo with a sculpture from the multimedia installation artist on Instagram. Ruby, who was born on an American military base in Klum’s home country of Germany, is known for his ability to work in a variety of media, like paint, video, and sculpture, like Klum's chosen piece. The large installation even makes the five-foot-nine supermodel look tiny in comparison. “I am in love with this sculpture by Sterling Ruby,” Klum captioned the shot. The work is a bit too big to fit in her Bel Air home, but Ruby has plenty of different options to chose from if she is smitten with his work.

Perhaps Klum learned of the Los Angeles–based artist from her longtime boyfriend, the art dealer Vito Schnabel. who hosted a solo exhibit with Ruby’s work at Schnabel's namesake gallery in Switzerland from March 12 - April 16.
